I have it pretty much permanently set at -2/3 EV. I set it there soon
after starting to get to know the camera and it's been there ever since.
I had the same thing with the S110, overexposed, washed out looking
shots and easily blown highlights at "normal" EV setting in anything but
quite flat light.. -2/3 gives generally nicely balanced histograms.
Of course, that makes it, in effect 2/3 stop faster, so that iso 800
acts more like 12-1400.
I just looked at a couple of very contrasty shots in direct sun, with
some really white parts of buildings and I have to say they could
benefit from just a little less exposure. To be fair, the scene simply
has more brightness range than a JPEG can encompass, so something has to
give. A little brightness, shadow and highlight adjustment improves it,
but can't regain the lost highlight detail

I'm still learning the camera. I guess, I'll have to do a little more
experimenting. :-)
